Building Friendship and Fellowship in Nepal

Winding along the bumpy and dusty roads from Kusma to Durlum court in Parabat, Nepal with our ASHA PROJECT volunteers and supporters from the Rotaract and Rotary Club of Parbat and Youth group, we learned lot about our friends in Nepal. But as we walked to the top of the Durlum court, we got a first glimpse of the village’s welcoming committee, from old ladies to young school children were lined up with their national flower to welcome us.

It was a very impressive entourage for the village to welcome us to the Durlum court. As the bus load of volunteers and The ASHA team reached to the top all the villagers were waiting for our arrival for a whole hour. By the time we reached the entrance of the Durlum Court, the entire villagers had assembled to welcome us.

For the last two years we have distributed goats to poor families so that they have some income for their holiday spending and have some milk for the kids. This goat project is sponsored by the Rotary club of Hamilton in District 7510. It has been a wonderful and fulfilling experience for our team members.

It has been our privilege and honor to be part of this great charity event. I would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to Durlung Court Management Committee, Rotary and Rotaract Clubs of Parbat and Soch Samuha Parbat for arranging the program, In particular, I would like to thank the youth coordinator of the Soch Samuha Nepal and Rotaract memember Mr. Antim Gurung and Members of Rotary Club of Parbat and Rotaract club of Parbat for their great friendship and fellowship.
